Hi Alex

I’m using CS3 and the steps I wrote in the tutorial work fine for me – did you use the scissors tool to cut the path?

However, if you do run into that sort of issue there are workarounds as you say. Another would be to expand the shape at the start.

Great Tutorial! Just a note for all you cs3 users:

When you cut the rounded rectangle effected pathin half, it rounds off the top corners, which is no good. Simply use a regular rectangle clipping mask to cut it in half instead! Also change the opacity of the clipping mask to 0% so that when you change the fill it doesn’t show the mask!
